less than it was at this time last year.
The marketing of the new crop at the
eight principal receiving points III the
winter and spring wheat sections up to
date, has been cightlnillions below the
same period i'll 1886. tits not, strange,
therefore, that prices have been slowly
and steadily advancing for the past
week. At the same time we have little
confidence in the market, although we
believe that bottom has been, touched,
and it seems very certain that the free
predictions OF. a drop of Six or seven
cents from present quotations will not
be realized on this crop. It is too early,
however, for much Of q bulge, and those
who have their faith on a heavy ad :
vance before the holidays will find it a
cold winter for foolish bull spectators.

waiting for a ten cent bulge, and if lit
comes before Christmas the markets will
speedily be packed so full Of wheat as
